Annie and Nick find out how the songs that soundtrack our favourite TV shows are picked.

Elsewhere, it鈥檚 been a good week for new music - Ethel Cain鈥檚 new album has prompted both confusion and admiration while Bad Bunny鈥檚 has made the whole world cry. Plus, Mac Miller has a new posthumous release, the government are proposing a cap on the cost of resale tickets and TikTok is being banned in America 鈥 but what does it mean for the music industry?
